Unsound Festival NY 2014

-

Unsound Festival New York, fearless, bold and adventurous, is a stateside edition of the annual premiere alternative music festival Unsound Festival in Krakow, Poland (now in its twelfth year). After taking 2013 off to launch successful editions of Unsound in Adelaide, Australia (at Adelaide Festival) and London, England, spring 2014 sees their return with this fourth New York edition running from Wednesday April 2nd through Sunday April 6th at venues in Manhattan and Brooklyn, including ISSUE Project Room.

Unsound Festival New York retains the principles of the eponymous Krakow edition, bringing together diverse sounds that do not usually co-exist on the same bill. From new classical music to underground club explorations, from the experimental to the purely sensory, the fantastic musical experience that is Unsound Festival New York aims to both challenge the ears and expand the mind.
